OK I'll bite, would you care to qualify this? If you're talking ATA
drives well  http://www.apple.com/xserve/raid/ 
http://www.emc.com/products/systems/clariion_cx700.jsp
are just a couple of vendor's ATA hardware and probably
capture a bit of what ever enterprise means at the moment. If your
talking big budget enterprise well its not really surprising that they
would spend more for FC disks and wouldn't consider an ATA solution is
it? 

So what makes it enterprise quality or not? What is your criteria? 


Thank you
